So we've got two examples there, Zlatan and Grealish, of guys who couldn't get over this tension, say, with Guardiola.

So how is Cherokee managing to do this?

Yeah.

You know, he did, Guardiola did actually say afterwards, he said, he eventually took him off because they weren't finding him somehow in the second half.

He said he somehow lost the ability to pick him out in the game.

So, Guardiola decided to bring him off.

But,

John there was something that really was striking me over the weekend watching this Premier League football not just this game obviously this game had a stunning example of it with the goal that Harvard's equalised with we're talking about Cherokee and like that was one of the best goals of the season like it was absolute absolute magic a minute later it's cancelled out by absolute stupidity.

And it just was like, it was like a stunning moment.

It was like, how can, see how difficult it was to do what Chucky's just done.

And now you've given them back a goal in the most elementary way.

It infuriated me to see this.

And because, you know, I was thinking about the, I watched the Tottenham Brighton game the previous day.

The second two goals in that game,

I mean, the Spurs 2-1, the Xavi-Simmons goal, and then the equalising Brighton goal in injury time.

We're infuriatingly stupid.

What I mean is, in one case, Verbruggen just passes the ball to a teammate who's under massive pressure, who loses it immediately, and that's how Simmons scores.

The second one, the ball comes in, Danzo has a chance to just boot the ball away.

He doesn't, and as a result, Tottenham are probably going to get relegated.

So what I mean is that I see more and more in football, because of the way that teams, it's been sort of drilled into teams to play in their own defensive third, like never clear it, always sort of pass short to somebody nearby and try and play out in this way.
